Well one of the ghosts decided to go full a-hole and create mass chaos for a few people, including myself and JCM. What they chose to do was not against the rules but it all came to a boil right at vote time and it left me a little flustered trying to catch up.

If we had been given notice we would have been prepared to answer the onslaught of cloak requests faster. As such it took me a little while to figure out what was going on.

The ghosts were left to decide who they wanted to give the cloaks to and they were to give us the final list of the cloaked. That happened and the result of the game would not have changed based on how the cloaks were used.

Unfortunately a few people were mislead on their cloak gifts. Some folks thought they had more than they did, others thought they had one and didn't. It is a risk of working with a ghost, but I assure you it won't happen again like it did today. JCM and myself will ensure that we are fully prepared to handle any chaos that may be created by a ghost.... because they are still going to be active in this game.

You will still be shooting at individual targets, but THE SHIP THAT TAKES THE MOST DAMAGE WILL HAVE A PLAYER ELIMINATED. The individual who has the most votes on that particular ship will be the player eliminated.

Also.

Phibacka is out there all by himself right now. If he chooses to, he can take his shuttlecraft and fly out of range of the battle. If he chooses to do so he will take no damage, but will also have no vote this round.

But if he wants to do things in a Klingon fashion, he can choose to ram one of the ships in play. If he does so, that ship will take FIVE total points of damage (His two votes and three votes worth of shuttle crash damage) and his shuttle will be destroyed. Will Phibacka die? No, not if another ship chooses to beam him aboard. If they do choose to beam him aboard, they will take THREE votes worth of damage to do so, but then they would have an extra voter on their ship going forward. Three out of Four members of that team would have to PM Apa and myself that they are beaming Phibacka up.

We understand that players target other players; not other ships per se. But ...

1. Do these rules apply to Phibacka as well? If he decides to go kamikaze, does he target a ship? Or a player on a ship?

2. Can players shoot other players on their own ship?

3. What happens in the case of a tie? In other words, let's say the crew on ship X takes the most overall damage, but the damage is distributed 6/6/2/0. Which of the first two "tied" crewmembers dies?

4. What happens if Phibacka crashes into a ship without getting beamed aboard another ship. We understand that he dies. And that he dies horribly. In a flaming bloody psychotic pyre of destruction. But would he count as the only casualty in the round? Or would you still calculate damage for the other players and eliminate one other player accordingly?

5. If Picard had to go into the Nexus in order to stop Soran, is he technically still in there, and everything we see concerning him afterwards still technically inside the reality of the energy ribbon? The reason I bring this up is because Guinan mentions that no one leaves there willingly, and that the survivors of the transport that she and Soran were on were forcibly ripped away when the Enterprise-B transported them out, while they were still in the process of being phased into the Nexus. With this in mind, is Picard still in the Nexus, but believes he is not? And if he is, what would he do should he come to the realization that he has been living nothing but a dream since he first went in? On top of this, where would the ribbon, on its original altered path, end up going to next?

Yes, he can distribute his damage to players one other ship

2. Can players shoot other players on their own ship?

Nope

3. What happens in the case of a tie? In other words, let's say the crew on ship X takes the most overall damage, but the damage is distributed 6/6/2/0. Which of the first two "tied" crewmembers dies?

If a tie, previous damage (past votes) is first tie breaker. If still tied and immediate and PUBLIC revote between the two candidates occurs.

4. What happens if Phibacka crashes into a ship without getting beamed aboard another ship. We understand that he dies. And that he dies horribly. In a flaming bloody psychotic pyre of destruction.

Yes he dies (price you pay for being so quiet, others are paying attention I hope). One other person will die too.

You will still be shooting at individual targets, but THE SHIP THAT TAKES THE MOST DAMAGE WILL HAVE A PLAYER ELIMINATED. The individual who has the most votes on that particular ship will be the player eliminated.

Phibacka also has to notify us what ship he is ramming.

Have fun!!

Sounds like Phibacka should get the **** out of the way and let the other space nerds battle it out. This must be Bronco Steven's dream of being so close to what Gene was talking about from Earth. Spooge must be all over his Gene poster.
